An Australian community for everything from your backyard to beyond the black stump.

Topics may include Aussie plants and animals, environmental, farming, energy, and climate news and stories (mostly Aus specific), etc. New related communities will be split off when required, think like subcommunities that exist on that other platform.

Trigger Warning: Community contains mostly bad environmental news (not by choice!). Community may also feature stories about animal agriculture and/or meat. Until tagging is available, please be aware and click accordingly.

And make state's more self sufficient in an increasingly dangerous and conflict ridden industry.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. How many countries actually have the technology to build nuclear reactors? How is importing technology going to make your country more self sufficient?

Do you think nuclear energy is a secret? It is literally a constituent part of most secondary scholing science classes.

Having energy produced in your own country reduces imports for LNG, OIL and gas.

With the push for greener energy and EVs having the energy needed for private transit rather than importing oil reduces cost and further improves carbon footprint.

If you think middle school physics is enough to build a nuclear plant, well that's pretty par for the course for nuke fanboys.

I didn't say that, but you seem to think there is a big secret about a decades old technology that has been in place and utilised across the world for almost as long.

Go talk down to someone else if you are just going to shit all over the chess board.
